I just bought this movie so I came here to read the board. I agree with your point about the target audience of this. I was 10 when it was released and I loved it then and now.
The original poster really made me laugh about the ideas regarding this film. I'm surprised a theory wasn't extended to Disneyland and how it ruined the world as well.
Summer Magic is just a cute, silly, Disney movie not much different than any other movies aimed at children released at the time. The USA/world were much more innocent in those times and movies/tv reflected that.
I'm still trying to figure out where the intolerance comes from?????? OP if you are still around, can you give more detail? Or were you just trying to be funny? If so, you suceeded. -

I watched this movie today and I noticed nothing offensive whatsoever about this film. It is good natured and lovingly rendered with characters that epitomise innocence if anything else, and Burl Ives was perfect as Osh Popham.

There will always be the politically correct, "progressive," "need-to-be-edgy," and "hip" (or so they think) types who won't ever like these types of movies. It would be way too uncool to admit to such. Clearly the OP has something about the United States too that drives his opinion.

I love your review!
An American movie critic, back when this movie was first released, said it was strictly juvenile fare, meant to ease the trauma of the training bra and tooth braces.
